The Wedding Bummer, or Poops-r-us
We, Dh, Sd15 and I, attended a very large wedding together, deep in a sun-filled, oak studded valley.
SD22 Feral Forger was there with her two cousins she likes, ignoring her father, and myself of course, as expected, because hes just a "sperm donor" and I "took away her father".

Discussion Topic - Weaponized Incompetence
I think many of us can relate to this. I certainly can! I saw it with SDnow22 Feral Forger when she was living with us - she would do the dishes when asked but do them badly - so badly in fact that her father would just give up giving her any dishwashing duty at all. I see that in my husband with respect to household and event planning as well as our general activities. I see it with respect to SD15 B/M's schooling. I see this sometimes with B/M's approach to household chores such as cleaning the bath tub.

Lets play a game - "My skid is so lazy...[insert example here]"
My SD15 is so lazy...
She will only subsist all day on leftovers, when there is frozen meals in the freezer as well as sandwhich making food in the fridge purchased specifically for HER.
My SD15 is so lazy...
While subsisting on above referenced leftovers, she will heat them up in the container and then plop it on a paper towel (to avoid using a dish that will need to be washed) and then eat that with her hands (to avoid using cutlery that will need to be washed)

Three-fer and Update on the Toxic Troll/Feral Forger Saga...
Husband and I have a new thing we get to arg---er--discuss now: his friend of 30 plus years has been "stopping by" once sometimes twice per week for the past 2 plus years. This man is quite nice, quiet and reserved with a really super sweet hound/pit mix whom I love. BUT SERIOUSLY. Im tired of this weekly Housemate who comes over (sometimes when Husband is not there but on his way) trots in with a six pack of beer, his bagged snacks, plops himself down in a leather chair in the man-cave and will sometimes grab the remote.
Stepping out is Stepping Forward
This is a lesson learned, learned and then learned some more. I just wanted to submit my "progress report", as regards SD15's progress report from school this first quarter.
I manage the school account email. Dh just cannot do it. And I do it to hold him accountable, as well as keep him informed. Im the techie of the family. I accept that responsibility, and its just better and easier. It is what it is.
So this morning I see an email notification for SD15's progress report. Click and "oops THERE it is!"

The punch, that lead to a restraining order, that lead to eviction, or?
On my drive home, which typically lasts about 45 minutes, I typically call DH or my parents or both. You know, phone calls for catching up quickly or "do we need anything from the store? (beer, veggies, dinner)"
Well, last night on the way home, in conversation with DH, I asked the general questions, he gave the general answers, and I asked "oh, so you are going to so-and-sos house and then dropping off SD15...?" as its her mothers week for visitation.
No "Woe is me" song at the concert for Feral Forger SD22...!
We went to a concert Saturday night, and who should pop up briefly, but Feral Forger SD22. We live in a small town. It was a sort of pricey ticket at a really nice local venue. Granted, she had the less expensive balcony seat, but for someone who is not working and crying "poor me, no one loves me, life is so HARD", well lets just say that ship has sailed big time. For anyone remaining under any illusions of FF SD needing sympathy and help, the concert took that away.
Drying the tears digitally
Last night while I was participating in my online tax class, SD15 B/M approached me with an emergency "I need your help request". It was her friend (a girl) and she was sobbing on the phone and having issues with her bio mother.
I dropped the call, but stayed logged into the lecture. What are you going to do? Im hardwired that way. A kiddo needs me, I come running. Well it was more like a stroll...
The situation was SD15 (yes shes back to munchkin for now...) has a friend we will call "G". This girl is also 15. And she was sobbing her little heart out.

Feral Forger SD22 and her needles
I posted earlier this week about Feral Forger, and her wanting to move back in with us...because Toxic Troll and her have been fighting and shes been told she needs to move out. For probably the 10,000th time.
I just know this because of her broadcast text to DH Clan Group text thread, where she screen captured TT telling her "F U, I cant stand you, you need to get out in 5 days..." etc. And she got some sympathy - 2 out of the 20 plus family called DH about it, and he had to explain "Life Choices Feral Forger-style".

Alls Fair (or not)
Hope everyone had a nice long restful labor day weekend.
Mine was...ok. But not at all restful.
The fairs in town.
I thought it would be a good idea to get a group together for the evening music and SD15 backstabber could meet her friends. Sounds nice, right?
